The Beauty and Elegance of Tea: A Guide by Jenwey Tea Co.
The Rich History of Tea
Tea, one of the world’s oldest beverages, has a history spanning over 5,000 years. Originating in China, it was discovered by Emperor Shen Nong, who, legend has it, found that tea leaves steeped in boiling water created a refreshing and healthful drink. Over centuries, tea has traversed cultures, shaping traditions, ceremonies, and moments of connection. Today, tea stands as a symbol of relaxation, elegance, and luxury—values that Jenwey Tea Co. brings to life in every blend.

The Endless Steep Philosophy
Unlike traditional steeping methods, Jenwey Tea’s blends are designed to steep endlessly. This approach allows flavors to evolve over time, creating a dynamic and ever-changing tea experience. Herbal teas, in particular, benefit from this method as spices and botanicals gradually open, enhancing the richness of every sip.
Tea Steeping Tips
Use Fresh Water: Always use filtered or spring water for the cleanest flavor.
Measure Carefully: For loose-leaf teas, use one teaspoon per cup; adjust to taste.
Watch the Temperature: Use the recommended temperature to avoid scorching delicate leaves.
Experiment with Infusions: Many of our teas can be infused multiple times for varied flavor profiles.
